Walmart announced Thursday it will hire more than 3,200 seasonal employees at its California stores.

The retailer traditionally adds additional workers during the holiday season, which provides an opportunity for people to earn some extra money at one of Walmart's 302 California stores.

"From San Jose to San Diego and everywhere in between, we're committed to giving our customers an excellent shopping experience this holiday season," said Chester Gray, regional manager for Walmart in Northern California.

Employees who are hired for seasonal positions are often kept on or offered full-time employment within the company, Walmart said. Last year, more than half of Walmart's seasonal employees nationwide continued as permanent employees.
